摘要
A phylogenetic analysis of cycad genera was conducted using sequences of plastid rbcL ( coding), trnL-F ( largely noncoding) regions, nuclear internal transcribed spacers ( ITS), and part of the adjacent 26S rDNA gene. Trees were constructed from each region separately and a combined data set. The combined analysis yielded greater resolution but with a consensus tree that was not completely consistent with any published morphological studies or recent taxonomic classifications. The analysis supports a tree topology of ( Cycas (Stangeria (Dioon ( Bowenia (Macrozamia (Lepidozamia, Encephalartos)))), ( Ceratozamia ( Microcycas, Zamia)))). This topology implies inclusion of Epicycas in Cycas and Chigua in Zamia. Cycas is a distant sister to the remaining cycads, which form a coherent natural group, supporting recognition of two higher taxonomic groups.
